The tech industry seems to be ruled by Samsung and Apple. The two companies clash against each other on a daily basis and this has been going on for a couple of years now. When it comes to sales, Samsung has the upper hand but that’s mostly because Samsung has launched a wider range of devices along the years. There’s another reason though, Samsung’s devices seem to have a longer expiration date in comparison with what Apple’s products. A great example of that would be none other than 2014’s Galaxy Tab S 10.5 inch.

The aforementioned tablet is still being used to this day despite its age. Thanks to the fact that Samsung has equipped it with impressive specs, Galaxy Tab S 10.5 inch is than capable of providing owners with stable performances but how well does it fare against one of Apple’s latest iPad Pro? Let’s find out.
